Sorry-

I just can't believe that things like:

- the decimation of the population in the Chesapeake with tiny size limits,

- the decimation of the big wintering bass off North Carolina,

- the huge bycatch & kills reported floating dead offshore from all the draggers (especially the recent reports) that happens WAY more than we think,

- the annual increases in commercial quotas because they tell us things are "better",

- the slow increases in the recreational size & number limits from 1 at 36" just a few years back to now 2 at 28",

- decimation of main bait sources,

- etc., etc.


are not putting a really big and damaging dent in Striper stocks.

Again like Habs said, can't just keep taking & taking & taking from all over.

There is DEFINITELY a problem.
